ZA/UM's upcoming game "Zero Parades: For Dead Spies" follows a retired spy recalled to duty in the decaying city of Portofiro, where a demo tasks players with collecting anime merchandise while navigating themes of weaponized nostalgia and capitalistic consumption. The game uses its bazaar setting to examine how nostalgia, pop culture, and materialism intersect with ideology and power, positioning itself as a philosophical sequel to the studio's acclaimed "Disco Elysium."
